Go check your pads and youll see they have lots of meat left, the pad warning light is triggered with over 1/3 of pad life left, mine came on in march, 6k ago and theres still loads left, its just another Audi rip off scam, if you can live with the light on do so as apart from the car thinking it needs pads it does not need pads yet.:icon_thumright:

Yeah I did think that Doc, Its true, there is plenty left on them. My discs are looking pretty Facked to be honest so think ill still get them tied in with my service...

EBC green stuff grooved n vented m8 have them on mine but DONT go for the EBC Greenstuff pads! there pure pants and after a month or so i had to throw them out as they had loads of wee cracks n caused serious brake fade so i'm back to the standard pads and there as good as anything :icon_thumright:

Greenstuff pads are made for smaller cars so I agree with Tintmaster. Were fine on my Focus, but not for anything bigger. Heard lots of good stuff about the DS2500s, loads of the Octavia guys on Briskoda run them.

Yes GSF for mine as well, Brembo discs and Jurid pads, OEM are actually Jurid (as with most maintenance parts, Audi don't make brake pads).
I just did the rears and they were about £60 all in, fronts will obviously be more though.

On my B5 Audi i had GSF cross drilled discs all round, and Pagid fast road pads, total cost was about 150 quid +vat then fitting.

My B6 is a different story, apparently the discs are different on the B6 so I cannot have cross drilled rears

GSF also say they don't stock the Pagid pads either, I don't understand how much different the dics between two models are, I would have thought they were almost the same?

And how is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?
